On The Australian Business Podcast this week (don't forget, we go live twice a week), I -- Owen Rask -- catch up with my co-hosts Danil Goloubev and Jordan Kidis to talk about franchises AKA "businesses in a box".This Australian Business Podcast episode was prompted by a question from a loyal Rask podcast listener, who asked:I am a Physio planning to start my own Clinic (small business). I am torn between joining a Pre existing Physio franchise group (with processes and structures already in place) or starting my own clinic and trying to climb that mountain myself! What factors would you consider when making a decision on this conundrum?

Is my Tesla tax deductible? Buying a car for work, giving yourself a "pay rise" & FBT explained
Danil just had a baby (congrats!), Jordan just bought a Tesla, and Owen... also placed an order for a Tesla (even though he LOVES his banged-up old Subaru).Almost every person or business owns a vehicle for business and private use. And too many think a car is 100% tax deductible - which is not often the right answer.In this episode, Owen, Danil and Jordan explain:
How to work out if your car is tax deductible
Why does it make sense to buy a base model Tesla with ATO rules? (Check Luxury Car Tax)
What does Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) means and how to calculate it
How to calculate depreciation on your car using the logbook
How to do a logbook and remind yourself
How much can tradies claim on their car?
Can office workers claim the cost of a car?
